Ekadashi tithi begins on Friday but the vrat is Saturday. The Moon in Bharani on Venus's own day creates an unusual eve — desire examined before it is restrained.
July 9 opens in Ashwini with Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga — precise, swift, powerful. By afternoon, Bharani arrives and Yama opens his ledger. Thursday holds both in Dhriti yoga's steadiness.
July 8 is Kalashtami. The Moon begins in Revati — the final nakshatra — and crosses into Ashwini, the very first, in the late afternoon. A day of completion, dissolution, and the zodiac starting over.
Tuesday, July 7 opens with Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga and closes with the Moon conjunct Saturn in Revati under Ganda Moola. Use the morning. Receive the afternoon.
On Monday, the Moon moves from Aquarius into Pisces, entering Saturn's territory in Uttara Bhadrapada by afternoon. Panchaka continues. What lies beneath the surface rises to be seen.
Venus enters Leo on Sunday, landing in Magha nakshatra — the seat of ancestors. The private warmth of Cancer is gone. What love and value ask of you just changed.
Saturday, July 4 carries Panchaka all day, the Moon moving into Shatabhisha, and Venus at the final degree of Cancer. The day asks for restraint, not initiation.
Friday carries three planets in Cancer, a retrograde Mercury-Jupiter conjunction, Venus about to exit Cancer, and Krishna Chaturthi. Here is what that means for your day.
Thursday brings a powerful Mercury-Jupiter conjunction in Cancer and Moon in Shravana nakshatra. Here is what that means for your day, your decisions, and your spiritual rhythm.
Vat Purnima Vrat falls on Jyeshtha Purnima as the Moon sits in Mula Nakshatra and Mercury stations retrograde in Cancer. The story of Savitri and Satyavan is not mythology today — it is the instruction manual.
